Self Defense: is being prepared
BE PREPARED TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR EMPLOYEES FOR 3 –7 DAYS
If you have not prepared yourself , your family and your business you become part of the problem and not the solution.
Prepare before a disaster: 3 to 7 days (House Kit, Car Kit, Work Kit)
Emergencies happen. Earthquake, hurricane's, volcanoes-- we read about them all the time, and view the painful aftermath. Fortunately, we in the Pacific Northwest have not suffered the consequences of one. But, we watch and wonder, what if it were here? what if the government didn't show up for 3 days, 5 days, 6 days?
So, what to do?
Well, what we are doing here at Mercer Island Martial Arts is getting prepared. Tina Jackson, our office manager (and brown belt) has volunteered and is now on the Mercer Island Emergency Preparedness committee headed by Jennifer Franklin at the police department. She has been appointed as a resource point person on the Island. During this process Office Franklin said that most people would like to have emergency kits, but just haven't taken the time, or action required to get them.
So, we have! we have put together a right priced kit, that has all the requirements plus extras for a person to survive on their own for six days. She also will be putting all the emergency info in it from the committee about what to do "if", where to go "if", how to stay safe "if".
You can see the description further down in this posting.
Write to us at strongheart@mercerislandmartialarts.com; or call 206 230 9050 to order yours within 24 hours.
Officer Franklin says that upon hearing the information about the necessity for emergency preparedness supplies that people don't take actions within 24 hours, it is likely that they won't. Be one of the ones who will! We are.
We can't do anything to prevent an earthquake, but we can be prepared to handle it as best as possible if we do have to deal with one in the future.
